Peaslee's WMA - April 21, 2010

Dave Lord et. al. report:

"Peaslee's WMA walk enjoyed a beautiful look at a Prothonotary Warbler, at the intersection of Dam Rd. and Rt 49., with two others singing in the background. From there we headed to First Avenue, where another Louisiana Waterthrush proved co-operative, and a Blue-Headed Vireo gave a few short sections of it's song. Back in Belleplain, a nice Worm-Eating Warbler showed himself at the Triangle, showing just how much justice is not done to these birds in field guides. Beautiful birds, beautiful day."
